The New England Patriots have won two of the last three Superbowls and reached four of the last five. It's been a busy summer for them with the retirement of Rob Gronkowski and they will have a new-look squad with the arrival of Demaryius Thomas, Jakobi Meyers and Josh Gordon. They won't be the finished article for a while but still look to have more than enough in the tank to get a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Quarterback Tom Brady is back for another season and will look to extend their excellent record of 11 wins in their last 15 games against the Steelers.

Pittsburgh were 9-6-1 last season when finishing seond in AFC North. They lost four of their last six games and failed to qualify for the play-offs. That's led to some changes during the summer with departures including Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell. They will be hoping for a great season from wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Go for the Patriots to start the season with a win.
